Abstract

Microalbuminuria is increasingly recognized as a marker of pathologies that cause acute systemic capillary leak. We report a case of an anaphylactic reaction to general anaesthesia involving cardiac arrest. In this case the urinary excretion of albumin following resuscitation suggests that severe anaphylaxis is another condition for which microalbuminuria is a sensitive monitor.
